Wow as if we didn't have enough accidents from careless cell users now. Just think when all these guys start calling video Dial-A-Babe from
their cars:)
Captain, First Officer, Medical, Security,
Helm, Tactical, Engineering... The 7 key positions
on the new trek shows, What other show has 7 main characters:) Yes you guessed it the Real World.
So with all the current "reality" games show I can see it now...
7 sentient beings brought together to live on one way cool decorated Star Ship, stop being polite and start Being Real.....
Now these 7 have just 16 Stardates to find the secrets to the ancient Ferengi ritual of "Product Placement" thus winning A million bars of latinum
for answering all the right questions. But along the way can they stay together as One Crew, One Team with all the tempations they will face on a 7 day shore leave on Risa? Will they survive against the difficulties of living in a J'em H'aadar prison camp? And the grand finale where they admit their secrets on Spring'aks Sub-Space Holo-Show... " I slept with a what?!!!!"
This was a great notice. It just so happens that
Icras a spinoff from the old General Magic went
out of business, taking the Magic Cap OS with it.
Now admittedly the OS was a market place dud.
But I still think its one of the best designed PIMs out there completely integrated even with email. So I'm planning to use the Agenda to create an opensource version of the Magic Cap PIM.
The whole reason it seems
for this "encryption" is that DC
really doesn't want people to use
all those free Cue Cat readers with
someone elses web site and setting up
deals with other Vendors. The
encryption was the charade they use to
create something enforceable. IF they
sent out readers that just read say
plain UPC codes or Code39 codes. Anyone
could have easily created alternative uses
and they couldn't have stopped it. So they
tried adding something artificially "unique".
While I wish I could sell my unwanted software as well, unfortunately software is a product you could continue to use even after you sold it since you could have made a copy left it on your HD as well. I think Software vendors are overly paranoid about this and then they wonder why no one is willing to shell out more than $39.95 for a piece of software:)
I'm beginning to think it was fortuitous to learn about Numbers stations on the same day. Maybe we should have a numbers web that creates secretly coded IP servers and file name locations so we can't be traced [1/2:)]

Install shield like app comes up and asks you for a "Typical" install which erases linux and installs Windoze first as a "support" utility :)
